After working with Le Theatre des Ombres in Toulouse for 10 years I have now decided to create my own theatre company :

The Dancing Firefly

Our speciality is shadow work although other related fields of interest include storytelling, music making, mask work and clown.

I have created five shows for children :

• The Princess Labam (an Indian Tale)
• The Fisherman and His Wife (Brothers Grimm)
• The Story of Perseus (Greek Myth)
• Ombure The Crocodile (African Tale)
• Shadowplay (original creation)

I have performed at The Avignon Festival, The Festival Incanti (Turin, Italy), Sao Paolo (Brazil), St Aubin (Toulouse), and The Venice Carnival. Before going into puppetry I trained as an actor with Rene Gouzenne (Toulouse), Maurice Sarrazin (Paris) and Philippe Gaulier (London).

I aim to create a world in which children can have the freedom to dream and develop their imagination. Shows are often appreciated by adults as well!
